Bluff Europe Poker Academy returns next week

London's Vic Casino is once again the venue for the second leg of Bluff Europe's Poker Academy season, this time on Sunday 28th March and in association with the Grosvenor UK Poker Tour (GUKPT).

Top UK professionals Stuart Rutter and Jeff Kimber and our very own Alex “Pickleman” Rousso will be in the hot seat with the emphasis on making "the transition to the live arena". Expect plenty of live hand demonstrations, analysis of your play, interactive exercises and even one-on-one mentoring. And if that wasn't enough there's the small matter of over £1,000 worth of GUKPT seats to be won in a special post seminar tournament.

The full schedule is as follows:

Tuesday is the deadline for all working Americans to have submitted their income tax returns to the federal government and Juicy Stakes and Intertops Poker are set to mark this annual occasion by holding a special freeroll competition featuring a $1,000 top prize.

“We run a lot of higher stakes tournaments for our more hard-core players,” said Intertops’ poker manager. “But since our network is generally pretty soft, we created this series to give less competitive players a shot at winning.”
